Description

Radiopharmaceutical complex compound
Technical field
The present invention relates to the complex compound for forming thorium isotope --- and particularly thorium -227 is conjugated to what tissue was targetted with some The complex compound of partial octadentate part --- method.The invention further relates to the complex compound, and it is related to disease --- particularly Tumor disease --- treatment, it includes giving this kind of complex compound.
Background of invention
In mammalian subject, specific cell killing is probably necessary for the various diseases of successful treatment.Its In treatment of the typical examples for malignant disease such as sarcoma and cancer.It can also treated however, the selectivity of some cell types is eliminated Played a crucial role in other diseases --- being particularly Hypertrophic and tumor disease ---.
At present, the most common method of selective therapy is operation, chemotherapy and external beam irradiation.However, targeting radioactive nucleus Plain therapy is a field for having prospect and developing, and it has specificity high for the cell type delivering relevant with disease The potentiality of cytotoxicity radiation.Authorize at present and use transmitting β and/or hair for the most common form of the radiopharmaceutical in human body Penetrate γ radionuclide.However, due to launching α radionuclide to the potentiality of more specific cell killing, people couple In the treatment some interest are have using transmitting α radioactive nucleus.
The radiation scope for the alpha emitter commonly used in physiological environment is typically smaller than 100 microns, equivalent to only several cells Diameter.This causes these sources to be perfectly suitable for treating tumour, including micrometastasis knurl, because they have the phase for reaching intra-tumor The scope of adjacent cell, but if they have good targeting, then seldom emittance will pass through target cell.Therefore, It need not target each cell, but the damage of surrounding health tissue will can be minimized (referring to Feinendegen et al., Radiat Res 148:195-201(1997)).On the contrary, β particles in water with more than 1mm scope (referring to Wilbur, Antibody Immunocon Radiopharm 4:85-96(1991))。
Compared with the energy that β particles, gamma-rays and X-ray are carried, the energy of alpha-radiation is high, usually 5-8MeV, Or be 5 to 10 times of energy of β particles and be more than 20 times of gamma-ray energy.Therefore, it is big in very short distance This deposition of energy makes alpha radiation be compared with γ and β radiation with extra high linear energy transfer (LET), high relative Biological effect (RBE) and low oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) (referring to Hall, " Radiobiology for the radiologist ", 5th edition, Lippincott Williams&Wilkins, Philadelphia PA, USA, 2000).This explains transmitting α's The special cytotoxicity of radionuclide, and the biological targeting also to this kind of isotope and the radioactive nucleus to launching α Controlled level and research and propose strict requirements that element is distributed, this is required, to avoid unacceptable side effect.
Table 1 below shows that the possibility proposed extensively in document has the physical decay properties of the alpha emitter of therapeutic efficiency.
Table 1
Candidate nuclides T1/2* To following clinical test
225Ac 10.0 days Leukaemia
211At 7.2 hour Spongioblastoma
213Bi 46 minutes Leukaemia
223Ra 11.4 days Skeletal metastasis
224Ra 3.66 my god Ankylosing spondylitis
* half-life period
So far, on the application in RIT, main focus is concentrated on211At、213Bi and225Ac, And these three nucleic were probed into clinical immunotherapy experiment.
The existence time for several radionuclides having been proposed that is short, i.e. half-life period is less than 12 hours.This short half-life period Make it difficult to that the radiopharmaceutical based on these radionuclides is produced and distributed with commercial system.Give existence time short core Element also increases the ratio for the dose of radiation launched in vivo before target site is reached.
In many cases, from the α recoil energies launched the position from parent decay will be caused to discharge daughter nuclide.Should Recoil energy, which is enough to make many daughter nuclides to depart from, can keep the chemical environment of parent --- for example wherein parent by part such as Chelating agent is complexed.Can also occur this feelings even if daughter (can be by identical ligand complex) compatible with identical ligand chemical Condition.Similarly, when daughter nuclide is gas particularly inert gas such as radon, or when incompatible with ligand chemical, the release Effect will be bigger.When the half-life period of daughter nuclide being more than the several seconds, they can spread in hematological system, not female by holding The limitation of the complexing agent of body.Then, these free radioactive daughters can cause undesirable general toxicity.
Several years ago, propose in holding pair223(the T of thorium -227 is used under conditions of the control of Ra daughter isotopes1/2=18.7 My god) (referring to WO 01/60417 and WO 02/05859).This is that this causes daughter nuclide quilt in the case of using carrier system It is retained in closed environment.In one case, radionuclide is placed in liposome, and the substantial dimensional of liposome (compared with the distance that recoils) helps to retain the daughter nuclide in liposome.In the latter case, using radionuclide Bone affinity (bone-seeking) complex compound, it is bound in bone matrix, so as to limit the release of daughter nuclide.These are latent Very favorable method, but it is not desired to give liposome in some cases, and there are many soft tissue diseases, Wherein radionuclide can not be mineralized matrix and surround to retain daughter isotope.
Recently, it has been determined that, in mammal body, when227What Th discharged when decaying223The toxicity of Ra daughter nuclides can The degree being resistant to is more much bigger than the toxicity tolerance degree predicted by the previous test to comparable core.On reservation is lacked In the case of the specific method of radium daughter for stating thorium -227, the publicly available information about radium toxicity is clearly illustrated, it is impossible to Using thorium -227 as therapeutic agent, because the dosage needed for realizing the therapeutic effect decayed from thorium -227 will cause to come from radium The radiation of the high toxicity of body decay and possible lethal dose, i.e., do not treat window phase.
WO 04/091668 describes unexpected discovery, that is, is implicitly present in treatment window phase, wherein can be to subject (be usually mammal) give the radionuclide of targeting thorium -227 of therapeutically effective amount without produce be enough to cause it is unacceptable Bone marrow toxicity radium -223 amount.Therefore, this all types of disease that can be used for treating and preventing bone and soft tissue position Disease.
In view of above-mentioned development, now can be in interior radio nuclide therapy using the core of thorium -227 for launching α, without by institute Produce223Lethal bone marrow toxicity caused by Ra.Nevertheless, treatment window phase still relative narrowness, and in all situations Under be required for giving the transmitting α that subject is not more than absolute demand amount radio isotope.Therefore, if transmitting α thorium- The degree of reliability that 227 cores are complexed and targetted is high, then the useful exploitation to this new treatment window phase will be greatly enhanced.
Because radionuclide is constantly decayed, it is separating and giving to the time handled between subject used in material It is very important.(seldom step, short temperature can be preferably needed if launching α thorium core in the form of quick and convenient preparation Educate the temperature of phase and/or the non-irreversibly influence stereotropic property of target) be complexed, targetted and/or be administered, then it is also phase When valuable.In addition, the method that can (substantially in aqueous) be carried out in the solvent that need not be removed before administration has Solvent is avoided to evaporate or dialyse the important advantage of step.
If the formulation of pharmaceutical products of thorium mark can be developed, it shows the stability significantly improved, also will be considered as With important value.Ensure to adhere to stable target level of product quality, while it is to pass to enable logistics approach to deliver patient dose Important.It is therefore preferable that having the preparation that minimized radiation is decomposed within the time of 1-4 days.
Have shown to be applied to coordination alpha emitter thorium -277 before octadentate chelating agent containing Hydroxypyridinone group, be used for It is subsequent binding to targeting moiety (WO2011098611).Octadentate chelating agent is described, it is connected comprising four by linking group 3 on to the support based on amine, 2 hydroxy pyrimidine ketone groups, it has the independent reactive group for being used for being conjugated to targeted molecular.On The preferred structure for stating invention includes 3,2 hydroxy pyrimidine ketone groups, and regard isothiocyanic acid ester moiety as preferred antibody component Conjugation chemistry material, as shown in compound ALG-DD-NCS.Isothiocyanates, which is widely used for mark by amido, to be connected To protein.Isothiocyanates group and the amino terminal and primary amine reaction in protein, and have been used for marking many eggs White matter (including antibody).Although the thiocarbamide key formed in these conjugates is considerably stablized, report by the different sulphur of fluorescence Antibody conjugates prepared by cyanate are decayed [Banks PR, Paquette DM., Bioconjug Chem (1995) 6 with the time: 447-458].The thiocarbamide to be formed is reacted by fluorescein isothiocyanate and amine to be also easy to be converted into guanidine in the basic conditions [Dubey I,Pratviel G,Meunier BJournal:Bioconjug Chem(1998)9:627-632].Due to thorium- 227 decay long half time (18.7 days), with reference to the growth half-life period of monoclonal antibody, it is desirable to use more stable connecting portion Point, to produce the conjugate chemically stablized in vivo and more in terms of storage.
Disclosed in WO2013/167754 on Hydroxypyridinone part be conjugated it is maximally related work in the early time, it is and public The part with the water-soluble portion comprising hydroxyalkyl degree of functionality is opened.Due to the reactivity of the hydroxyl of this chelating type, make It is impossible for the activation of Acibenzolar, because multiple competitive reactions occur in succession, causes to produce complexity by esterification Product mixtures.Therefore, WO2013/167754 part must be by substituting chemical substance (such as isothiocyanates) and tissue The albumen coupling of targeting, obtains more unstable thiocarbamide conjugate as described above.In addition, WO2013167755 and WO2013167756 discloses hydroxyalkyl/isothiocyanates conjugate, and it is respectively applied to the antibody of CD33 and CD22 targetings.

For launching α thorium component, nearest key is the discovery that, some alpha activity thorium isotopes are (for example227Th) It can be administered with the amount that treats effectively and will not produce the bone marrow toxicity that can not be resistant to.In all aspects of the invention, thorium- 227(227Th) it is preferred thorium isotope.As used in this article, term " acceptable non-bone marrow toxicity " is used to represent, most Importantly, the amount of the radium -223 produced by the radioisotopic decay of the thorium -227 given is typically not enough to make subject It is directly lethal.However, for it is obvious to the skilled person that bone marrow injury amount (and possibility of lethal response) --- it is The acceptable side effect of this treatment --- by with the prognosis of the type of disease to be treated, the target of therapeutic scheme and subject And significant changes.Although the preferred subject of the present invention is the mankind, other mammals, particularly companion animals such as dog, The use of the present invention is will benefit from, and the level of acceptable bone marrow injury can also reflect the species of subject.It is acceptable The level of bone marrow injury is bigger than in treatment nonmalignant disease generally in treatment malignant disease.One well-known marrow Toxic level is measured for neutrophil count, and in the present invention,223The amount of Ra acceptable non-bone marrow toxicity Typically controlled amount so that the neutrophil cell fraction of (minimum point) is not less than what is counted before treatment at its minimum point 10%.Preferably,223The amount of Ra acceptable non-bone marrow toxicity is so that neutrophil cell fraction is at least in minimum point 20% and more preferably at least 30% amount.Most preferably at least 40% minimum point neutrophil cell fraction.
In addition, comprising radiothorium (for example227Th compound) can be used for high dose scheme, wherein when including stem cell When support or suitable restoration methods, produced radium is (for example223Ra bone marrow toxicity) is typically not tolerable.This kind of In the case of, neutrophil count decreases below 10% in minimum point, and especially will decrease to 5% or if need To be less than 5%, condition is to take appropriate precautionary measures and then give stem cell to support.These technologies are ripe in the art Know.
Thorium isotope of special interest is thorium -227 in the present invention, and thorium -227 is under where the context permits The preferred isotope of all thoriums referred to herein.Thorium -227 is relatively easily produced, and can be indirectly by by neutron exposure226Prepared by Ra, it will include227Th parent nucleus, i.e.,227Ac(T1/2=22 years).Actinium -227 can easily with226Ra targets Separation, and be used as227Th generator (generator).If desired, this method can be amplified to commercial scale, therefore it can keep away Exempt from the supply problem for being considered as occurring in other most of alpha emitters of the alternatives of molecular targeted radiotherapy.
Thorium -227 decays via radium -223.In this case, the half-life period of primary daughter is 11.4 days.By pure227Th Source, the radium of moderate was only produced at initially several days.However,223Ra genotoxic potential is higher than227Th genotoxic potential, because coming From α particles223Be exactly within a few minutes after Ra transmitting from short life daughter three kinds of other α particles (referring to table 2 below, Wherein list the decay series of thorium -227).
Table 2
Partially due to it produces potentially harmful the decay constant, (T of thorium -2271/2=18.7 days) not yet it is broadly contemplated use In α particle therapies.
In order to distinguish most abundant naturally occurring thorium isotope, (i.e. (half-life period is 1010 to thorium -232, and is effectively non- Radioactivity)) thorium complex, it should be appreciated that thorium complex claimed and combinations thereof includes being more than natural relative herein ((i.e. half-life period is less than at least one of the thorium of 103 years together to the transmitting α of for example, at least big 20%) thorium radioisotope to abundance Position element, such as thorium -227).The demand does not influence the definition of the inventive method, wherein being distinctly claimed the radioactivity of therapeutically effective amount Thorium such as thorium -227, but be preferably all such case in all respects.
In all aspects of present aspect, preferred emission α thorium ion is the ion of thorium -227.The 4+ ions of thorium be for The preferred ion of the complex compound of the present invention.Correspondingly, the 4+ ions of highly preferred thorium -227.
Thorium -227 is not tolerable to cause without producing so many radium -223 to be enough the therapeutic effect needed for providing The amount of bone marrow suppression is given.Expect to maintain daughter isotope in target area to obtain further treatment effect by its decay Really.However, it is not necessary to maintain the control of thorium decay constant so as to useful therapeutic effect without causing unacceptable bone Marrow toxicity.
Assuming that tumour cell kills effect essentially from thorium -227 rather than from its daughter, then the isotope is possible Therapeutic dose can be determined by being compared with other alpha emitters.For example, for astatine -211, the therapeutic dose in animal is usual For 2-10MBq/kg.By correcting half-life period and energy, the corresponding dosage of thorium -227 is at least 36-200kBq/kg body weight.This will It is right227Th amount setting lower limit, the lower limit can effectively be given, expect to obtain therapeutic effect.The guarantor of the calculation assumption astatine and thorium Allowance is suitable.It is obvious that ground, 18.7 day half-life period of thorium most likely results in the bigger elimination of the isotope before its decay. Therefore, the dosage of the calculating is generally considered to be the effective dose of minimum.With what is be fully retained227Th is (i.e. not from internal elimination 's227Th) therapeutic dose represented is generally at least 18 or 25kBq/kg, preferably at least 36kBq/kg and more preferably at least 75kBq/kg, such as 100kBq/kg or bigger.It is expected that a greater amount of thoriums is by with bigger therapeutic effect, but if producing not Tolerable side effect, then can not give.Similarly, if with short biological half-life (i.e. from the body for still carrying thorium Body eliminate before half-life period) form give thorium, then need a greater amount of radio isotopes to realize therapeutic effect, because It will be eliminated before its decay for a large amount of thoriums.However, the amount of produced radium -223 will be reduced accordingly.When isotope is fully retained When, the dosage that the above-mentioned amount of thorium -227 to be administrated can be easily equal to what it is with shorter biological half-life is related.This kind of meter It is well known in the art at last, and provided in WO04/091668 (such as in Examples 1 and 2).
If radiolabeled compound releases daughter nucleic, knows the final result of any radioactive daughter nuclide (if applicable) it is important.For227Th, main daughter products are223Ra, due to its bone characteristic that becomes, it is in clinical evaluation In.Radium -223 quickly removes blood, and be enriched in bone or discharged by the approach of intestines and kidney (referring to Larsen,J Nucl Med 43(5,Supplement):160P(2002)).Therefore, by227The radium -223 that Th discharges in vivo Will not largely unhealthful soft tissue.In M ü ller Int.J.Radiat.Biol.20:233-243(1971) In on the citrate as dissolving227In the research of Th distribution, find in soft tissue by227What Th was produced223Ra holds Change places and redistribute in bone or excrete.Therefore, the known toxicity of transmitting α radium, the particularly known toxicity to marrow, be The problem of thorium dosage.
Confirm first in WO 04/091668, in fact, can be given in human experimenter and be resistant at least 200kBq/ Kg's223Ra dosage.These data are provided in this publication.Therefore, it can be seen that at present, very it is surprising that really In the presence for the treatment of window phase, wherein can be by therapeutically effective amount227Th (being greater than 36kBq/kg) gives mammalian subject, And do not expect unacceptable risk of this kind of subject by serious or even lethal bone marrow toxicity.Nevertheless, best Ground is of crucial importance using the treatment window phase, it is thereby necessary that radiothorium is quickly and efficiently complexed and with very high Affinity is kept, so that the maximum possible ratio of dosage is delivered to target site.
By227What Th medicines were produced223Ra amount is by depending on the biological half-life of radiolabeled compound.Preferably Situation is that the tumour using the complex compound absorbed with Rapid tumor, including in internalization to tumour cell, strong retains and normal Short biological half-life in tissue.As long as however,223Ra dose maintenance is in tolerable level, then with less than preferable The complex compound of biological half-life can be useful.The amount of the radium -223 produced in vivo is by the amount of thorium to give and thorium complex The factor of biological resident time.Under any particular case, the amount of the radium -223 of generation can easily be counted by those of ordinary skill Calculate.227Th maximum dosage will determine by the amount of the radium produced in vivo, and have to be lower than that will produce can not tolerance level The amount of side effect especially bone marrow toxicity.The amount will typically be less than 300kBq/kg, especially less than 200kBq/kg and more preferably Less than 170kBq/kg (such as less than 130kBq/kg).Minimum effective dose by by the cytotoxicity of thorium, pathological tissues to production The neurological susceptibility and thorium of raw α irradiations by target complex compound (being in the present case the combination of part and targeting moiety) efficient combination, Retain and the degree of delivering is determined.
In the method for the invention, thorium complex is ideally given with 18 to the dosage of thorium -227 of 400kBq/kg body weight, It is preferred that 36 to 200kBq/kg (such as 50 to 200kBq/kg), more preferably 75 to 170kBq/kg, especially 100 to 130kBq/ kg.Correspondingly, single dosage until may include be about multiplied by suitable body weight (such as 30 to 150Kg, preferably 40 to 100Kg) this Any scope in a little scopes (such as the scope per dosage is 540kBq to 4000KBq).In addition, the dosage of thorium, complexing agent And the dosage for ideally causing the radium -223 generated in vivo is less than 300kBq/kg by method of administration, more preferably less than 200kBq/kg, still more preferably below 150kBq/kg, especially less than 100kBq/kg.Again, this will be provided by using shown Pair that any body weight is multiplied by these scopes to represent223Ra exposed amount.Above-mentioned dosage level is preferably227Th's is fully retained agent Amount, but in view of227Th will be before decay from internal removing, and it is alternatively dosage.
Compared with physical half time,227The biological half-life of Th complex compounds is short (such as less than 7 days, especially less than 3 days), Significantly bigger dosage is needed to provide equivalent retained dose.Thus, for example, 150kBq/kg's is fully retained dosage phase When in the half-life period given using 711kBq/kg dosage as the complex compound of 5 days., can be by using method well known in the art The biological clearance rate of complex compound calculates the equivalent dosage of any suitable retained dose.
Due to one227Th nuclear decay provides one223Ra atoms,227Th reservation and therapeutic activity will be subjected to patient 's223Ra dosage is directly related.It is any it is special in the case of produce223Well known method can be used to calculate for Ra amount.
In a preferred embodiment, this invention therefore provides treatment mammalian subject (such as institute herein State) in disease method, methods described include to the subject give therapeutically effective amount as described herein at least A kind of thorium complex for organizing to target.
Have clearly a need for making subject couple223The exposure minimum of Ra daughter isotopes, unless223The property of Ra daughter isotopes It is used effectively.Specifically, the amount of the radium -223 produced in vivo will be normally higher than 40kBq/kg, such as higher than 60kBq/Kg. In some cases, produce in vivo223Ra is necessarily higher than 80kBq/kg, such as higher than 100 or 115kBq/kg.
